Re: Moving between open Word documents

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Wow. That's interesting.

I'm a total novice when you say "code" and I can only imagine that I'd copy
and paste your post into the text area for editing/creating a macro, I
presume. Assuming that's the case, would you pleae be so kind as to tell me
where and how so I don't risk messing up my Normal.dot file or something else
expermimenting?

Also, I assume this will move "forward" to the next window (or nowhere if
there is no other Word document open). Can I assume that changing +1 to -1
will do the same but cycle "backward" and thus allow me to have two keyboard
commands to go either to the "Next" or "Previous" window?

Thanks a million.
